Harriet Taylor: The Part of Menopause Support Nobody's Talking About

What if menopause didn't have to be something you endure, but something you could actually move through with support, clarity, and a sense of your own power?In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Harriet Taylor, Female Empowerment Facilitator and Menopause Wellness Consultant, on a mission to help women feel supported, heard, and genuinely empowered through the menopause transition. Drawing on both lived experience and professional training, Harriet brings a holistic approach that goes well beyond the clinical.Harriet came to this work the way so many of us do. Through her own experience. After a hysterectomy in 2023, she was suddenly facing a transition she hadn't planned for, and she noticed something: the support available to women was fragmented, clinical, and rarely addressed the whole person. She trained as a Reiki practitioner, brought her years of counselling experience alongside it, and began doing something she calls translation. Helping women articulate what they're going through clearly enough that their GPs, employers, and families can finally understand it too 😊.What I loved most about this conversation is how grounded and honest Harriet is. She isn't here to tell you menopause is wonderful. She is here to tell you it doesn't have to stop you in your tracks. She works predominantly with neurodivergent women, for whom the overwhelm, anxiety, and intensity of this transition can become particularly acute, and she offers a space that treats the emotional and energetic alongside everything else.In this episode, we explore:➤ Why menopause can feel like speaking a language no one else understands, and what genuine translation actually looks like for women, their workplaces, and their GPs➤ The case for a holistic approach, including womb healing and energy work, and why addressing the energetic body is as important as the clinical conversation➤ Neurodivergence and menopause, and how the combination can amplify anxiety and overwhelm in ways that standard support often misses➤ Why women are not past it at 40, and the conversation Harriet is actively working to shift, in corporate spaces, in GP surgeries, and in community circlesThis episode is for any woman navigating perimenopause or menopause who is tired of being handed a leaflet and sent on her way, and who knows, deep down, that what she needs is something that speaks to all of her.Connect with Harriet TaylorWebsite: theempoweredgoddess.co.ukInstagram: @theempoweredgoddess_retreatsConnect with Joanna IngramWebsite: joannaingram.comInstagram: @iamjo.ingramLinkedIn: Joanna IngramMessaging Impact Audit: Get a personalised review of your messaging using my six-pillar framework, plus a clear report with your scores, gaps, and the opportunities you're missing to attract higher-frequency clients.
